Subin is the executive director of the county's Criminal Justice Coordinating Commission, tasked with "coordinating communication" among Montgomery's law enforcement agencies, the Washington Examiner learned. The commission meets four times a year.

"It looks bad," one high-ranking county official who asked to remain anonymous told the Washington Examiner. "To be paying that much to one of your political buddies -- for, let's face it, not that much work -- is outrageous with our budget situation."
